Here are some things that, according to Gallup, are less-popular with Americans than legalizing pot: Congress, the Supreme Court, the president.

In a sweeping cultural shift, comparable perhaps to Americans’ increasing support of same-sex marriage, a majority now favors legalizing marijuana, according to a Gallup poll released yesterday. The survey showed that 58 percent of 1,028 respondents supported legalization and 39 percent opposed it.

That’s a drop for the naysayers from just three years ago, when 50 percent opposed legalization — a number already a long plummet from a high of 73 percent in the 1990s.

Gallup credited much of the surge to political independents, whose support jumped from 50 percent to 62 percent in less than a year.

Americans older than 65 remain the only age group that opposes legalization, with 53 percent against. Support grows stronger with each younger generation, with 18-to-29-year-olds supporting legalization 67 percent to 31 percent.

The Gallup telephone poll conducted Oct. 3-6 has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

In August, 38 percent said they had tried marijuana. That’s the highest number ever, yet it’s only an incremental increase from the mid-30s figures recorded since the 1980s.
